Site Work Considerations for Gurnee Properties
Gurnee is a destination retail market anchored by Gurnee Mills — one of the largest outlet malls in the Midwest — and Great America, which drives massive seasonal traffic. The I-94 / Route 132 interchange hosts a dense cluster of hotels, restaurants, and national retail pads that depend on year-round exterior service.
Property types we serve: Outlet mall and destination retail centers, entertainment and theme park properties, nationally branded hotels and hospitality, big-box and power retail pads, restaurant and quick-service clusters
Seasonal note: Gurnee Mills' massive parking fields and Great America's seasonal facility maintenance create exterior service demand at a scale that few north suburban markets match. Northern Lake County also sees consistently higher snowfall than communities closer to the city — ALTAR's north Lake County staging handles both the volume and the geography.
